What if: Windows 8 Pro – on phones?

What if: Windows 8 Pro – on phones?

| November 15, 2013 | 1 Reply

Advertisements I was thinking about the above device last night, the Dell Venue 8 Pro. It’s an 8″ quadcore tablet with Windows 8.1 – and not the RT version it seems since this is a Quadcore Intel Atom tablet.

It was only July when the Nokia Lumia 1020 was announced but Nokia may be set on announcing a new imaging flagship already. Why not? Keep on improving whilst others are still catching up to Nokia’s cameras from 2 years ago. Other interesting things include 3D touch with ‘goldfinger’  and a Siri-like assistant (cortana or […]

  Phones4U – a retailer in the UK for phones have a series comparing smartphone cameras since camera performance is becoming a bigger and more important part of consumer choice. In their first episode they compare capturing action. Quite funnily enough, I read from a comment at NokConvs that Nokias were notorious for “slow shutter […]

Nokia Lumia 1020 vs Nokia 808 PureView Camera Comparison.

Marc from ThePureViewClub has been playing around with his “new” Nokia Lumia 1020. New in the sense that his old one got replaced after some readers noted differences in results they were getting. He’s now getting better results, though with that infamous amber tinge. http://pureviewclub.com/2013/18891 He returns to the original comparison with the 808 http://pureviewclub.com/2013/18994 […]

We previously thought the Normandy connection maybe that Casino Royale was inspired by a location in Deauville, Normandy, where writer Ian Flemming had played. The latest tweet […]

Steve Jobs tried to get Nokia’s Anssi Vanjoki to go to Apple when Elop became Nokia CEO?

Interesting news from  iltalehti.fi  reporting on  suomenkuvalehti.fi which Vanjoki apparently confirmed was true. When Nokia appointed Stephen Elop instead of Anssi Vanjoki to become CEO, Steve Jobs had supposedly contacted Vanjoki wanting him to go work at Apple. Whilst Vanjoki did leave Nokia, he didn’t go to Apple. It wasn’t that he didn’t believe in Apple but […]

Nokia’s HERE Maps to power Tizen

| November 11, 2013 | 51 Replies

Remember Tizen? Nokia and Intel merged Maemo and Moblin to create MeeGo. When MeeGo got abandoned, Intel got working with Samsung, kinda merging Bada with MeeGo to make Tizen. Though technically there isn’t anything MeeGo in Tizen (unlike perhaps, Sailfish). The purpose of Tizen is to give Samsung the legs to walk away from big […]
